My Wings Have Failed Me

By supermutt

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The flurry, the flutter, of the fledgling's feathers Indicates her readiness to fly Overestimating her powers She hops from the nest Into   the       sparkling           blue               sky And for a moment, she floats Weightless for the time; The glittering sun on her back, Breathing in the white clouds; But the moment is gone And her wings fail And she tumbles to the                                 ground.
